When you’re in your feelings or emotional how do you make decisions?

But I am at this place of peace that will allow me to make the best decision or a better decision than had I been angry or just hyped up with emotion at a level where I can't really see anything or see my way out of a paper bag, so to speak. So what do you do when you have all these emotions going on and feelings? How do you make your decisions? How do you calm yourself down? Are you reactive or do you respond? Let me hear about it

But if it is something that literally I'll put it this way, I made a decision sometime back to step away from a relationship with my family. My father's already passed with my mother and my sisters. This came from being put in a position where I was the scapegoat for the family, right? Calling out the dysfunction and then being told by other family members that I was a liar, I was dramatic, I was whatever so that they could stay in their dysfunction

For me, I like to be clear in my thinking, and I know that if I'm upset or round up or full of whatever emotions going on, I'm not going to be able to make a good decision for myself and not to mention anybody else that I might be working with or connecting with. I'm not going to be able to be clear if they have a question or if they're talking to me about something because I'm still caught up in my emotion

So we should be taking decision when we are in a stable mind whenever we want to actually make the result out of it. So, yeah. Thank you so much for watching this. This is really a good way to communicate. So thank you so much

I thank you for listening to my swell and thank you for answering the question. It's good to get other input on this topic because I think that it's something that we all have some time or another in our lives where we have acted out on our emotions or our feelings before given it. It time to cool down or to make the right decision or the best decision for ourselves about whatever. But thank you for your reply. Have a good evening

I, too, need to be kind to myself, and in turn, I'm not one that wants to jump the gun and start an argument or say things I can't take back because I lived in a volatile situation, even in childhood, that things were said that I'm like, oh, my word, that's insane. So I kind of left home as a teenager saying, I'm not taking any of that with me

Is this why I'm angry? Or is this something touching on a past wound or was I really slighted in this moment or whatever it might be? And then whatever answer I give for where I think it's coming from, then I ask myself, Swell. Is it really? And then look at both the affirmative and the negative to be able to analyze it a bit more

I tend to automatically go into this mode of just stop for a second. And I go through my mind with, hey, what's going on with this person? Something might be happening. And internally, I'm thinking all these things or I'm walking away from something that I don't want to even be a part of. Because what's going on is not about me. It's really about what's going on with them
